SAN Francisco, November PA
correspondent writing from Apia,
Samoa, under date of November 9TH, re-
ports the arrival of tho United States
warship Adams at the island on Octo-
Der 10th. The correspondent says it
was significant to watch the delighted
expressions OF the Samoans, and hear
them say how glad they were that
friendly relations were at once estab-
lished between the Samoan and
American officers. Native dances
were given in honor OF the visitors.
The first meeting OF the native legisla-
ture convened under Tamasese took
place on the 18th OF October.
THE BEHAVIOR OF THE NATIVES
Did not indicate any departure from
their position, as they do not submit
to Tamassee, but to the Germans.
The proceedings at the Parliament
were consistent with the German pol
icy. No one was allowed to
discuss the tax of 81 per head,
which was announced with fines
and Imprisonment if not paid in
full. Now, to get money to pay this
tax the Samoans will have to borrow
and mortgage their lands and goods.
The Germans know this, and they are

the day before the assembling of the
Legislature, chief named Tamasen
was arrested, charged with theft and
put in prison. The real cause of this
action was that Tamasen had said
that he was glad there was an Ameri-
can man-of-war coming, and this had
been reported to the magistrate, who
held him up. Tamasen was re-
leased from prison by the American
Consul-General, who severely rebuked
the magistrate.

The Riddles,

AMHERST C. H., VA, Feb. q, 1897.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In your issue of the Goth Practi-
cal - correspondent gives a singular re-
ply to my queries as published in your
paper of the 18th. He says Z" the State
has bought 10 Riddlebergers for five
months, and their price has declined in
that time from GS. TO 65s." BY this
statement the gentleman strengthens
my side, and not his, as any one mustsee:
Perhaps he intends to make point by
the smallness of the decline. Would
not this small decline, let me ask him,
have become great decline if the State
had informed the public that it would
not buy again when it had the spare
funds We all know that the taxes,
while nominally due December lst, are
not paid into the Treasury in any great
part until about June. Do not the
brokersof Richmond know this, and that
then there viii be made market for the
Riddles by Virginia's own purchases,
as has been done each year? The total
amount now out is less than $1,000, 900,
aud buyer appearing on the market
with an offer for $50, 900 OF thiseyery
few weeks is bound to give an extra
tone to the market. AS judge that
your correspondent is well informed |
account for numerous errors OF state
ment in his letter as being due to the
type-setter. For instance he says !:
"To-day consols Of 1882, fundable into
Riddlebergers at par, are worth Co." AS
there are no consols fundable in this
way ct par he must have written some
thing else, no doubt coupons being the
word intended. He quotes also fall
of consols from 5Sl in September, 1882,
TO "a in September, 1886, as fall which
he regards as remarkable-a fall OF 4
points in four years, whilst by his own
statement, as quoted above, Riddles

The Reunion OF Pickett's Division
ut Gettysburg.
n.tb, Edjfor of me DisDnfch :

To.thc Editor Of the Dispatch:
As one of the survivors of the memo
rable charge OF Pickett's division on
Cemetery Heights on the Sd of July,
1863, / am in hearty sympathy with
the movement now on foot to effect
reunion of the brave veterans OF my
old division. Heretofore III all these
movements the gallant men who bore
the brunt of the battle and whose he
roism often entwined the wreath for
others to wear have been ignored and
pushed into the background. This
ought not so to be, and, | trust, will be
avoided on this occasion. To me the
chief pleasure iii the anticipation of
such q reGnion lies in the reflection that
/ shall once more grasp the hands and
look into the faces of the noble men by
whose side | have often marched and
fought, and some of whom | have led
to battle. l want to see the private
soldiers as we'll as their commanders re-
presented on that Once-bloody field.
TO this end permit me, Mr.. Editor, to
make through your columns several
suggestions which seem--to me, at
least-pertinent and timely.
/. Let those gentlemen, styled in
YOUR issue OF to-day the Executive
Committee, unite in n call to every old
soldier of Pickett's division to meet in
Richmond at some specified place-say
about the 18th Of April next-to make
necessary arrangements for the pro-
| posed reHnion. There viii be no diff

! kind-hearted people of our capital city,

brave veterans who have so often in

information for the proper develop
ment and the success Of the move
ment.
.. Thus gathered together in coun-
ell, the presence of these men will
make it a diriSion mOrcnicat; will
give sanction, unity Of purpose, and
concert of action to the movement.
They can appoint committees to make
necessary arrangements for transporta-
ton, to provide a programme of exer-
cises, the place of concentration, the
route of travel, and whatever else is
required. In the mean time let those
who have inaugurated this movement
gather what information they can, ma
ture plans, and report to this convoca-
ton in Richmond.
commend these suggestions to
Judge Clopton and those associated
with him.

would be harmful, and that under the

long one if that course be "iustified
by the circumstances and conditions
surrounding the case" says:
sit is certainly within the discre-
ton of the commissioners to be APP
pointed under the act to take 'circum-
Stances and conditions into considera-
ton in determining appeals for exemp-
ton from the long and short-haul pro
visions, but they, and not The railroad
